Accenture Positioned Furthest and Highest within Leaders Quadrant of Gartner’s Magic Quadrant for Business Analytics Services

NEW YORK; July 24, 2014 – Accenture (NYSE: ACN) has been named a “Leader” in independent analyst firm Gartner Inc.’s first “Magic Quadrant for Business Analytics, Worldwide”1 and was positioned furthest within the Leaders quadrant on the “completeness of vision” axis and highest on the “ability to execute” axis.

The new Magic Quadrant evaluates 17 service providers of analytics solutions and services providers specifically on the execution of consulting and implementation services, and it also evaluates the total vision provided for business analytics solutions. A defining factor in this Magic Quadrant is that service providers demonstrate the ability to implement BA solutions that build upon the products in the market for solutions directed at specific business outcomes. Providers are also noted for innovation in pricing, such as with outcome-based proposals; industry or functional specialization; and the use of innovative business models, best practices, methodologies and approaches.

“High performing companies are recognizing that data is a strategic asset and analytics is the fuel in the digital world. We believe Gartner’s Magic Quadrant clearly demonstrates how Accenture Analytics can help organizations to move from reporting to advanced analytics and predictive insight, enabling them innovate, become disruptors in their industries and achieve a return from their analytics investment,” said Narendra Mulani, senior managing director, Accenture Analytics, now a part of Accenture Digital. “With more than 17,000 analytics professionals leveraging latest technology, machine learning and data science techniques, we help clients master key opportunities such as gaining a 360 degree view of both the enterprise and the customer, and moving from informed decisions to defined outcomes.”
